I make frequent updates to the website for a small, regional food and wine festival (duxburyfoodandwinefestival.com, built using Wordpress). When I recently went to edit/update the site on Wordpress with information on this year's events, I was (and still am) unable to view existing content in the text editor fields (both visual and text). The text is there when I highlight, but it's all white.
So far, I have tired updating my theme, clearing my browser cache, trying a different browser (two, actually), adding a Google Libraries plugin that online research suggested could help-- nothing has worked. I suspect that there must be something I need to do to the config file via ftp, but I have no experience with this and am feeling pretty stymied. Any ideas from those more knowledgeable than I?
Thanks in advance; I didn't encounter this issue last year, and I'm not sure how to proceed.
One page of content as it appears online
The same page of content in text editor view, content invisible/white
Highlighting show that the text is present, but white on white field-- not useful for editing/composing text
I solved my own issue. My particular problem had to do with the most recent update to WordPress and a conflict with an existing plugin on our site ("WP Memory Load and db size Usage"). I opened a second browser window and systematically tried deactivating one plugin at a time until I reached the problem child (it was last, of course). By refreshing my content editor view in a separate window after each plugin deactivation, I was able to isolate the problem plugin. When I deactivated the plugin in question and refreshed my content editor view, the text returned to black/visible in both visual and html text views. I am now operating as-normal with that single plugin deactivated.

I manage a Wordpress page that had this issue before, but after doing some caching configuration (W3TC) the product list in shop page started disappearing more frequently. The only thing that brings it back is opening the page in page editor and pressing "update", no changes should be made. Purging all cache also does not help (pages are built using DIVI page builder).
So far I have reverted all of the changes that were made before, but that has not decreased the frequency of the issue.
Because of the store being live, I am not inclined to do plugin uninstalls as it can damage the page even more (Issues of page CSS not loading properly were seen before, purging cache helped in that case)
One thing that I thought about is making some kind of script that updates the page automatically as a temporary solution (a new site is going to be made eventually)
What could be done to either troubleshoot this issue in safe way or at least create an automatic page update script?
-WordPress 5.1.1 running Divi theme, Woocommerce version 3.5.7-
You say page "started disappearing more frequently", do you mean page is loaded but content disappears or it whole page does not load?
Try turning off Minifying in W3TC. I had this problem few times and always a problem was typo in CSS.
In W3TC in General Setting there is possibility to enable Preview mode, turn this on always before deploying. Turn on preview mode, check if everything is Ok, test, search for bugs. And only when you are sure that everything works fine then deploy it.
Thank you Vladimir for the tip about preview mode. The bug unfortunately is not in the CSS though because minifying is not enabled in W3TC.
By "disappearing more frequently" I mean Header and Footer being fine and Body being only partly loaded - Broken page screenshot
However, I have tracked down the issue to woocommerce itself. It seems like the default set shop page is the one crashing regularly. I did not find solution to the initial problem, but I found a trick that works, at least for now.
I created a new Shop page, but instead of linking it in Woocommerce settings, I just included a [products] shortcode. The previous page is still active, but not visible to user. Even if the shop page itself crashes, products are still visible and purchases are possible.
I have a wordpress website with a survey that is shareable using social sharing plugins (I currently have mashshare as well as a hand coded button and both have the same issue). This survey is hardcoded in PHP file so none of its contents can bee seen in the visual/text tabs of wordpress.
My problem is that when I change the share image and the text, both do not update when I share them to facebook. I can even delete the text and place a new one in and it will only show the original image and text and will not update.
i have a developer in india that claims he "fixed" this issue but he somehow got it to refresh one time. The problem still persists when I attempt to change the image or text.
Any idea how he got it to refresh OR how to fix it completely?
by the way, sharing on the rest of the site works perfectly fine.
Facebook cacheds the OG data, it is not meant to be changed the whole time and will even be locked after a while afaik. You can refresh it manually in the debugger: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/
I am having default theme (twenty sixteen) running over wp version 4.5.2. I've no plugins in active state (all deactivated). Having many pages created with long contents (about 500+ pages).
One of the page is having 18,997 words (http://surgemedia.staging.wpengine.com/6-mo-after-gastric-sleeve-warnings-successes). Please do not mind about the formatting since it is copied from live site to this staging site. When I try to edit content in this page in text mode, it is very very slow. I am not able to figure out what's the reason since the content does not have any images or external content.
Please help!
Thank you, Naresh
One thing that will drastically slow down the WP Editor on my computer is to have the Chrome inspector open at the same time. The inspector can be open on ANY Chrome window or tab and it will affect the WP editor in any of the others. Hopefully the word will get out and either the WP or Google team will fix it.
It might be a little late, but have you tried:
Checking your website speed (for example with: https://tools.pingdom.com/)
Checking your own network speed
Disabling browser add-ons / extentions
Disabling the browsers spelling checker in the text editor
Using multiple browsers to see if the problem persists
(In case all of the above doesn't work and you haven't encountered a problem like this before):
Prepare a clean installation of WordPress with a standard theme and copy paste your text into it, in case the current installation is corrupted. Try this on localhost before setting it live, in case the hosting-provider is the cause of the problem.
I've just finished creating a new custom theme based on the underscores framework, and It's ended up breaking my current wordpress installation after applying it.
Although everything is running fine on the front end, the back end is running really weird.
The following issues have presented themselves:
Trying to add a new post (either regular, or one of the new custom post types I've defined) just results in a blank page. Although the post has been created, the admin section gets stuck on the wp-admin/post.php page.
My media library no longer shows up in the media browser. Although all 6,000+ images are still there, none show up.
When logged in, it takes ages for the page to load in the Wordpress admin bar, as it appears it can no longer display the site stats (it just shows the broken image icon after it's finally finished loading in, when the new theme is selected).
I've tried to refresh the permalinks, but this hasn't worked.
Any ideas? I was hoping to re-launch my website today, but it looks like I might have to put it on hold...
Get ahold of the devs for your framework. Your experience is not an uncommon one. It has happened to my sites several times. Unless you want to tweak the php yourself, they will have to help you.
Managed to sort this out. Turns out a function I had written to add a custom field to menu items broke the entire back end. Thanks for the help everyone!
My site used the Sunburst theme without any custom style sheets – at most I would update the logo. I recently updated the logo and front-page after a long absence. The logo was successfully updated, however something else happened and now the site appears unstyled. Skip to content/Skip to navigation text links (for accessibility) appear at the top where they had not previously.
I checked portal_skins/custom, but there was no ploneCustom.css file there to remove, only the logo.png. I tried changing the theme to Classic but it also appeared unstyled, so then I changed it back to Sunburst. Next I went to portal_skins/sunburst_styles and pressed the customize button for public.css and ploneCustom.css, hoping to override the current style. Even though the style files were copied to portal_skins/custom (I did not modify the copies), the site still appears unstyled.
Please help a grad student whose occasional task is to maintain a Plone site (server is running Plone 4.) The server admin is away at a conference – the previous server admin who had the Plone expertise graduated last fall and is now out of the country (and also at the same conference.) I’ve read the documentations and searched for similar issues, but am at wit’s end.
I would greatly appreciate any guidance in how to revert back to the default Sunburst theme styles!
Sometimes the "Plone Classic Theme" seems to become applied when upgrading. In the Theme control panel ( http://yoursite/##skins-controlpanel ) make sure that "Sunburst" is selected.
